Hello all. Just installed Ghost 3.5 on my Lenovo ThinkPad SL400. Being a TP, it has both a trackpoint and a trackpad. Both work although I'd like to be able to use the right border of the trackpad for scrolling, much like the wheel on a mouse. Instructions on the 'Net refer to a synaptics driver, and I remember being able to load that when I was installed FreeBSD -- which unfortunately was thrashed somehow, and which is why I'm trying GhostBSD now. So far so good but as I mentioned, I'd like to be able to use the synaptics driver. If I recall rightly, I had a line in rc.conf (?) which read

Also, I used the Driver "vesa" technique to load and install GhostBSD. Now, I'd like to use my Intel Graphics chip (not sure which one it is, will check when I boot into <ugh> Windows). xinput -list didn't detect the touchpad:

Not sure, but I think it should've been able to detect the Intel Graphics chipset as well but anyway...

I combined the two questions into one because I think the Synaptics and Intel Graphics support were coded in the source. Either that, or there were some .ko files for them. I didn't find any in /boot/modules, which is where I think they should be.

Any suggestions on how to get Intel Graphics and Synaptics touchpad support? Will I have to compile the kernel? No big deal, I've done it before but I'd rather not do it again as it'll deprive me of much of the use of my computer while it's at it.

Hi Eric, thanks for getting back to me. Support for my laptop's Intel graphics chipset does seem to work in 4.0 BETA1 -- I didn't have to go in and modify xorg.conf, it gives me the gdm (?) login screen. I wanted to test the synaptics support but thought it might be too much work for a live system so I tried the install. But first, the results from fdisk:

So I asked gpart (through install) to delete the old GhostBSD 3.5, then created a new partition. Install said that it deleted the old partition and created a new one, then I got an error message telling me to refer to pc-install.log for details. Refer to lines 6-8.

Hmm, maybe I'll try booting into one of my Linux live CDs and running gparted from there to delete the partition.

Hi Eric. You mean I didn't have to install it? Oh well, no worries, my 3.5 was only a few days old and I didn't have much data there. Anyway, I presume you'll want to look at my Xorg.0.log? Attached, if the Upload attachment option works.

[EDIT] ### extension can I use anyway? All right, embedding it instead:
